Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder ~ Henry David Thoreau
To those who celebrate Diwali –
With Gleam of Diyas,
And the Echo of the Chants,
May Happiness and Contentment Fill Your life!
Wishing you a very happy and prosperous Diwali!

Diwali is one of my favorite ‘new’ festivals — new only in the sense that I only learned about it a few years ago. I had a neighbor who created a Rangoli design outside her door, and we all loved it. There will be big celebrations in Houston tomorrow, despite the restrictions that are in place. Happy Diwali to you!

Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate. Due to increase in covid cases in our region we have restirctions on any kind of celebration. It’s more like a family affair and virtual celebration this year.
Stay safe and healthy.
